That will be nice!
IMO Spotify still does a better job of letting me find new music than Qobuz. In fact, although I enjoy Qobuz I am surprised at how amazingly lackluster its ability is at suggesting music discovery.

I also subscribe to Qobuz and totally agree that Spotify is much better at suggesting/finding new music.

I subscribe to Qobuz and got an email today - "Your new Discover experience — now more personalized" I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check it out this weekend. Hopefully it's an improvement.

In my opinion lossless is misleading marketing and giving the impression that the incoming signal is being oversampled and that is not true, 44 kHz is the same sample rate as a cd.
Secondly: due to limitations in physics 24 bit does not exist, because of deviations in the capacitors, trafo etcetera the last bits are never being transcribed into an analog signal: I don’t think there are setups on the market which are able to translate the last bits of a 16 bit input signal. My ladder dac has only 8 bit and it sounds amazing. I doubt if Suncoast Audio has a setup in the house that is able to translate all 16 bits, I think it is nowadays still impossible to do that.
Conclusion “Lossless” spotify is nothing more then cd quality
